sometinses Visible In Winter Even Whss
the Noondsy Sun IL Shining.
During the winter months the aurora
on the Yukon Is very brilliant and in
tensely beautiful. 1t commences early in
the fall, and lasts with more or less bril-
liancy throughout the long Arctic winter.
II generally commences upon the setting
Of the sun, although in midwinter 1t has
at times been SO bright that it was visible
at noon while the sun was shining brightly.
The rays Of light first shoot forth with a
quick, Quiyering motion, are then
gathered and form u great arch Of fire
spanning the heavens. Ii glows for an
instant like girdle Of FURNISHED gold,
then unfolding great curtains OF light
drop forth. These royal mantles Of bright
orange, green, pink, rose, yellow and
crimson are suspended and waved between
heaven and earth as with an invisible
hand. The rapid gyrations and scintilla-
tions Of light and blending colors are in
tensely bewildering and superbly beauti-
full.
The whole phenomena OF waving
wreaths, fiickering fumes, rays, curtains,
fringes. bands and flashing colors; the
strange confusion of light and motion,
now high in the heavens, then dropping
like curtains Of gold and silver lace spark
ling with a wealth of rubies, sapphires,
emeralds and diamonds, penetrating
dark gulches and dartng through somber
green forests, lighting the whole land
scape as with thousand electric lamps,
forms picture Of which words can con-
vey but very poor idea. This unwarm-
ing light, as it flashes along the frozen
rivers the great banks Of snow, and re-
veals the huge mountains Of glistening ice
and the black lines Of fir indeed is Of the
purest arctic caste, and causes one to but

Concerning the introduction Of wheat
into America, reliable information Is OBJ
;ainable. 1t may be difficult in the present
day to realize the fact that wheat was ut
onc time unknown in America. Yet prior
TO the discovery Of this continent by Co
lumbuS there was no cereal in America
approaching in nature to tho wheat plant
1t was not until 1880 that wheat found
its way into Mexico, and then only by
chance. a slave Of Cortez found q few
grains OF wheat in parcel Of rice, and
showed them to his master, who ordered
them to be planted The result showed
that wheat would thrive well on Mexican
soil, and today one OF the finest wheat
valleys in the world il near the Mexican
capital. From Mexico the cereal found
its way TO Peru. Marie D'Escobar, wife
II Don Diego de Chauves, carried few
grains to Lima, which were planted, the
entire product being used for seed for
several successive crops. At Quito, Ecua-
dor, . monk Of the order Of st. Francis,
named Fra Jodosi Bixi, introduced new
cereal; and it is said that the jar which
contained the seed is still preserved by the
monks OF Quito. Wheat was introduced
INTO the present limits Of the United
States contemporaneously with the settle
Hent OF the country by the English and
hher European settlers.-Chicago Times.

A New Species OF Bee"

A very pleasant evenings amusement
for number Of people might be secured
by having pronouncing bee conducted on
the same general principles as a spelling
bee. The words to be pronounced should
be seleaed by a committee and written up
on blackboard in full view of tho audi
ence. Society in general gets along very
well with uncertain spelling, and there
are many smart men and women who
very wisely refrain from ink. It really
makes but small difference to society at
large how its individual members spell.
BY refraining from ink their lapses in this
respect are not known, but it is absolutely
necessary to know how to speak correctly
and pronounce words properly. There are
many who continue to stumble over such
small powders as finance, vagary, hyme-
neal, etc, etc. A clevcrly arranged pro-
nouncing bee would furnish n great deal
Of fun aud some money for small chari-
table entertainmenHs.-Ra Bits.

Tho Physicians Of New York.

Doctors rarely acquire fortunes. The
scions Of the profession-dentists-d
Many make o comfortable living; few fail
in the means Of existence. Indeed, many
doctors might achieve fortune had they
introduced the system Of partners, the
business methods, bOokkeepers, ETC.,
which the legal profession has adopted,
but they cling to the old fashioned dignity
and relative disinterestedness Of the call
ing. II their patients pay them, well and
good: il they do not, the loss Of time and
services IL put down to charity; and 1t Is
safe to assume that this account is far
greater and more extended with physi-
clans than any other class Of men, includ-
ing professional philanthropists.
The number Of doctors is great In New
York, but, nevertheless, it is singular how
few one meets. At dinners, receptions
and balls in the city there will certainly
b. several representatives Of the bankers,
trOkers. merchants ,8pd lawyers; at the
most an occasional physician In The
country a: any of the summer resorts yoh
will be certain to meet lawyers; ont ,of
tdree men, two will belong TO- the legal
profession; out Nf SSols two OF three may
be doctors er-r--
At n series Of dinners last winter I do
not remember any where the proportion Of
lawyers was not from two to three to one
Of another vocation. I only remember
one physician-and he came in late. 1t is
not that doctors have less appreciation Of
the social and agreeable phases Of life 1t
~ that they are quietly, unostentatiously.
naturally devoting themselves to suffering
humanity. 1t is something they accep;
